Product Description

“The Forza Runner is by far one of the best running shoes I own. They’re not only functional but trendy as well” – James W.

Road running is now even lighter. We took our best-selling road runner, the HFS, reduced the weight, and added a sock-like, breathable, knit mesh upper that feels one with your foot. Of course we know that when you’re not running you’ll love showing off the sleek style.

The Forza Runner may feel narrow, but it will break in and stretch out. So if you think you have a REALLY wide foot, the Forza Runner may not work for you.

FEEL CONNECTED TO YOUR WORLD WHEN YOU RUN IN THE FORZA RUNNER

READY FOR ACTION

When Italians use the term “Forza” they mean “You have the strength to do this!” The Forza Runner gives you the strength to take on your favorite road run and so much more. The knit mesh upper makes this shoe breathable and lightweight, giving it a sock-like feel. At just 7.5oz (for each Men’s size 9), the Forza Runner is so light you won’t even know you have them on.

JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT

Protection? Or barefoot feel? You can have whichever you want with the removable 3.5mm insole. Leave it in for extra protection, or take it out for optimal ground feel. Enjoy road-gripping traction with the tire-inspired tread design. Like any other shoe we make, our FeelTrue® rubber soles are backed with our 5,000 mile sole warranty.

WE MAKE RUNNING SHOES SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Forza Runner.

Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.

All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for better balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you the combination of grip, protection, and ground-feel your brain wants to help you Live Life Feet First.

Caring for your Xero Shoes

To clean your Xero Shoes, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting them in the washing machine or dryer.

Do you ship internationally?

We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.

All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.

Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.

International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.

Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.

All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.

Great Running Shoe

These are excellent road-running shoes if your feet at used to the zero drop style shoe. I am a size 13, so I ordered the next available size up (14). These fit just fine. I have ran about 30 miles in them so far and have had no issues.

Still Great!

I bought my first pair of Xero running shoes about 5 years ago and they completely changed my connection with running. After all the runs, hikes and miles I decided it was time to get a new pair. I love that I can put on a new pair of Xero shoes and it just feels right. No need to break them in, they are comfortable right out of the gate. Keep doing what you do and thank you!

These Are Marathon Training Blessings

Do yourself a favor and if your training or thinking of training for any long distance running, but these asap. I was running in Nike, Puma, and consistently had sore knees and shin splints during any run over a few miles. After several hours reviewing what I should be doing / wearing I stumbled across Xero. I rigorously researched them against brands like ASICS, Brooks, and the bigger names like Nike, Adidas and Puma. The results were overwhelmingly clear. I should be running in Xero. Bought this pair, haven’t looked back, and have logged close to 75 miles since purchase. They’ll be carrying me through the Portland OR marathon in Oct. Lightweight, breathing like your barefoot, and helps you correct your posture and poor footing when you run as you’ll feet every muscle of your foot activate. Pardon my french, but these are f*&@ing amazing. Buy them asap.

Hard to get on

Since there is no separated tongue they are really hard to get on my feet. I ordered a half size up, as suggested. I've never had that problem with any other shoe before. But once they are on they are great. So maybe my feet are just a little too wide, or maybe need a full size up.

So far so good!

Just made the transition to the Forza runner from a very athletic life in regular shoes-which I believe have caused an array of injuries after I passed 30 yo. I’ve only been on a couple runs so far in these but I’m surprisingly already feeling better, more flexible, and stronger. Even lifted in them and WOW, that’s actually fun. But please, MAKE MORE COLORWAYS. You guys are seriously missing out on large customer base with some of these 80’s vibe colors. Just use the same colors other popular shoes brands use and boom…problem solved.

Comfort and Durability

Excellent fit and comfort. Back, feet, hips, and knees all feel better wearing these. I'm not much of a runner anymore but the shoes are great for walking.
